I have a Vibration and I dont know why

I just replaced my rear drive shaft's rear U joint and Just replaced the Front outer U joints. I have checked the front drive shaft U joint and they are good. But I have a vibration when I drive down the road. It gets more noticable the faster I drive. I checked the weights on my rims and there all there. Any idea's

do a search for 3rd gen vibration. tends to be common. i won't even tell you how much i've spent to find it. could be as simple as your skid plate or an exhaust hanger

I used to work at a tire shop and a busted tire belt will also cause this.

The ujoints in the CV joint in my frint driveshaft went bad and caused a similar vibration as yours, I kept checking it and it looked fine, until I finally pulled it and drove it and the vibration was gone, you might try pulling your front driveshaft and then test drive it just to be sure.

I was doing some googling and read somthing that said if there is fluid around an opening then you might have a bad bearing. So I went out to the truck and check my rear axle, and around the yoke going into the pumkin has some residue. Could I have ruined that bearing. The night my rear u joint started vibratin I had to drive about 400 miles home then I replaced the rear drive shafts rear U joint the next day.

Well when I get home I will drop the front drive shaft and take it for a spin. Then I might drop the rear drive shaft and take it for a spin. UNLESS SOMEONE SAYS THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT DROP AND DRIVE IS A BAD IDEA.

Bad idea... you will loose transfer case fluid... but I'm pretty sure you were joking.

I had a similar vibration, after replacing all u-joints, it turned out to be the steady bearing .

If by steady bearing you are talking about the carrier bearing. Ive got a short bed I dont have one.
